Right On Time

She pulled her hair up from the water
The waves had just come crashing over
She was right on time
To take my mind and start it over
I’m driving in the summer with the seat soaking wet
Radio loud headed west
Got nowhere to be I’m free as the wind
Life is waiting up around the bend
She was right on time
To take my mind and start it over
Radiator smoking on the side of the road
Said that old car had been good to know
Had her feet on my dash and a look in her eye
I knew how to walk but she learnt me to fly
She was right on time
To take my mind and start it over

Magic

Let’s get ready for the magic
The night is young and the feeling’s right
I got a little buzz but Baby that’s all right
Let’s get ready for the magic
I been looking for a lover worth her weight in gold
I been holding my breath when it comes time to roll
You know this night could break us down
And I’m ready to break, ‘cause I’m already bent
Love ain’t nothing but a paper doll
Trying to hold on in the face of the wind

Way Down Yonder

Way down yonder in the well, a secret I’ll never tell
Way down yonder in the well
The son of a dynasty I made it far from the tree
The wayward son of a dynasty
I fell for a girl in the town who lived on a road Daddy didn’t go down
I fell for a girl in the town
She wore a lily white dress her dark skin it did caress
She wore a lily white dress
Down at the courthouse square we let ‘em all stop and stare
Down at the courthouse square
He was a friend of mine till the words he said broke heart and mind
He was an old friend of mine
It ain’t just sticks and stones some words cut right to the bone
It ain’t just sticks and stones
I found him in the light of the moon
And my .44 hammered out a tune
Till blood ran black in the light of the moon
We danced by the light of the moon
While sharecroppers sang a working tune
Two young lovers bound in the light of the moon

Heaven
03:26
|

A bar I love on the outskirts of town
Right past all that stuff they’d love to tear down
They welcome me in to my favorite stool
Hand me a bottle, Son keep your cool
I reach for my wallet like anyone should
The barkeep says keep it here you’re money’s no good
I look in the mirror expect to sprout wings and fly
Better get out of heaven before I die
Band hits the stage they cut into a tune
Till the whole place around me it starts to move
While all at once tonights barroom queen
Sits right beside me and laughs and leans
I take her hand and we waltz to the floor
The way she moves gets me right to the core
I don’t know the reason I don’t want to ask why
Wanna stay here in heaven till I die
In a flash it’s cheers, cheers
You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here
Off to a little wooden house with an RCA
Hear Charlie Patton singing as she lights my way
Our shadows dancing by candlelight
Two young kids in love, at least for tonight
If I wake from a dream you’ll hear a grown man cry
Get me out of heaven before I die

Lone Ranger

She wanted me to be the Lone Ranger
One night in her bedroom
As a boy I lived for television on Saturdays
Cartoons, cowboys, showing me the way
I still check under, getting into bed most nights
Made mistakes but I was brought up right
She wanted me to be the Lone Ranger
One night under a prairie moon
Met her at a party in the month of May
Excuse me getting out of each other’s way
We shared some tequila she lost one of her shoes
The sun came up there was nothing left to do
She wanted me to be the Lone Ranger
One night in her bedroom
That December I admit it was quite a surprise
When she tied the cloth right over my blue eyes
But love is a secret at least two people know
Yippie ki yi yay - Yippie ki yi yo

Roll black sugar river sweet jubilee
Carry that sugarcane
To where the Delta melts into the sea
You gonna cut that cane while the buzzards fly
Stacked taller than a man who’ll never leave this world alive
Screen door lost it’s screen some years ago
Poor woman done lost my love
When the sweet Cachaça done laid me low
I hear her fateful moan through the walls of time
I see her footprints lead up to my door from the waterline
Bury me in sweet molasses I done all I can
That river that brought me here
Let it take me on to the Promised Land
Roll black sugar river sweet jubilee
Carry my body down
To where the Delta melts into the sea

Stone
04:03

I am a stone - cast off in a field alone - I am a stone
I was a wall - when I was only a child - yes I was a wall
Now I am a word - written in the heart of a babe in the womb - I am a word
I am a seed - watered by want and desire - yes I am a seed
I am alive - written out loud on the protest sign - I am alive
We are one light in a sky full of stars
A dream as brief as a spark
So take this dream, make your mark - We are
I am a tide - gathering strength in a storm - yes I am a tide
I have arrived - in a moment that will define your life - I have arrived
I am a voice - shouting loud from the rooftops - I am a voice
I do believe - one day every soul walks free - I believe
I am a stone - cast off in a field alone - I am a stone

Summerline

I been lost without you nights are dark and lonesome
The sirens wail so red and blue
City streets abandon all hope when landing
My old heart is ready to get home to you
Where the sun it always shine
The fish jump on the line
The trees in summertime
Shade me and you
A thousand miles apart we, look to the sky above we
Think of growing wings to fly on home
Where the water turns to wine
The clothes swing on the line
The trees in summertime
Shade me and you
The star we named for ever stands in the sky
The satellites circle around our hearts
While we both grow wings to fly on home
